enThe first annual “LUC”-KY sports awards announcedhttp://qctonline.com/first-annual-luc-ky-sports-awards-announced
<div>2017 is almost over and once again, we reflect on all that happened, good or bad, serious or funny.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Since this is our last issue for 2017, I thought it would be a great idea to start distributing some gifts. Mind you, these gifts are only in “words,” there are no plaques or trophies that come along with the first annual “LUC”-KY AWARDS.</div>

<p>Have you heard about the Christmas spirit at Ste-Foy Elementary School (SFE)? Well, we have lots of it!</p>

<p>We wanted a really special photo for the front page of the last issue of the <i>QCT </i>before the holidays, so we contacted the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in late November to see if our photographer Jay Ouellet could take a photo of their charming crêche or nativity scene. We learned that it would be set up during the annual Christmas pageant on the morning of Sunday, Dec. 17. </p>

<div>The English-speaking community of Quebec City really pulled its weight this past week and delivered some 660 hamper boxes to 131 homes on Saturday, Dec. 16. Another 70 people with special needs or unable to store and cook large amounts of food, received grocery vouchers to see them through the holiday season.</div><div><p><a href="http://qctonline.com/christmas-hamper-volunteers-deliver-goods">read more</a></p>http://qctonline.com/christmas-hamper-volunteers-deliver-goods#commentsCommunityDecember 20 2017 EditionTue, 19 Dec 2017 19:07:56 +0000Admin12837 at http://qctonline.comThe story behind Rue Charles-Dickens http://qctonline.com/story-behind-rue-charles-dickens
<div>This street honours the memory of the famous English novelist Charles Dickens (1812-1870) who first became known for his stories of life in London. His chronicle <i>The adventures of Mr. Pickwick</i> that appeared in 1836 and 1837 made him a celebrity.

<p>Members of Quebec City's Jewish community celebrated Hanukkah on Dec. 17. Known as the Festival of Lights, it celebrates the miracle of the temple oil lasting eight days after the reconsecration of the temple over 2000 years ago. The lighting of the candles is like the passing on of knowledge: you can pass it on without taking away from yourself. A true gift of giving!</p>

<p>Aren’t you glad you don’t have to say, hear or write “sesquicentennial” anymore? (Thank you, spell-checker, for surely more than the 150th time). Canada 1.5 soon will be history, and hey, wasn’t that a party! (Ask the disgruntled thousands who lined up in vain in the rain for the bash on Parliament Hill on July 1.)</p>
<p> So, let’s see… What milestone shall we celebrate in 2018?</p>

<p>The QCT recently learned that The Philanthropist, the multimedia theatre presentation about the life of Jeffery Hale that took place in August, 2017, will be back for two encore performances at Champlain–St. Lawrence Campus in early February, 2018. We sat down with playwright Mike Boden to ask him a few questions.</p>
<p>QCT: Was it in the original plan to have another string of presentations?</p>

<p>I guess by this late date in December your shopping is finished, the gifts are wrapped and under the tree or still hidden in the basement cupboard. The house is clean and the Christmas groceries are just waiting to dance together in the pot.<br />
No? I know the feeling. It’s my life’s story as I write these lines. </p>

<p>On Saturday, Dec. 16, about 2:40 p.m., a beautiful ring appeared around the sun, then the light became very bright and it seemed as if the sun had twins. This spectacle was seen all around the Quebec City area.</p>
